Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Malmesbury I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease.

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
